Post Thank You Hack 0.6

About this hack:
This hack allows users to thank someone for a post without making a big mess on your forum. I'm sure most of you HATE when people just make a post that says 'thank you'. Also, for those people who don't like making the 2 word post, this gives them a chance to say thanks. It's also good for users of your forum who post something helpful and want to see if people really used their information.

There is a similar hack called 'Automatic Thank You Hack'. That hack only lets you thank the first post of a thread not just any post. It's also unsupportive and was release for an older version of vbulletin.

• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy

Did you follow the modifacations in the installer? you can go to: /admincp/post_thanks_install.php?step=dofileedits and follow the instructions.

I had not liked that so much. I like it looking more of a speical thing part of the post. It shouldn't stand out too much.

yes mate i followed the whole thing :(

any ideas?
